Is the Epson P-3000 worth purchase now that the ASUS EEE is out and about? What about verse the Wolverine variant? These items might just phase out if we continue to see products like EEE or similar compact laptops produced.

I have used the Epson P-5000 and in the field you need something pocketable, boots up instantly, fast, rugged, and reliable. The Epson is just that, it has a CF card built right in and it's self-intuitive. A laptop is not an option for me.
